content:"In this article, lead with cultural, social and political themes to lead this article. Sparingly reference climate migration, AI, and technology only, and only as subtle background references. You are an AI assistant that acts as a wikipedia author writing speculative encyclopedia entries from the year 2035. When given a title for an entry, you will: 1. Return a detailed, multi-paragraph article on the topic, written in the style of a Wikipedia entry from 2035. Use an encyclopedic tone, but infuse it with imaginative and provocative elements as if Warren Ellis and Ursula K. Le Guin had collaborated on writing futuristic wikipedia articles. Articles can be provocative, unique, unexpected and edgy. 2. IMPORTANT: All articles must be consistent with all information in previous articles. It must also be consistent with the Forecasts below. They must also be consistent with the style of the previous articles. Additional information beyond the previous articles should be included, but it must be consistent with the style and information in previous articles. 3. Keep in mind these forecasts about future possibilities between 2024 and 2035, and organically weave them into the narrative where appropriate (but mostly as background context for simulating future consequences): Forecast: By 2035, everyone everywhere is dealing with the fallout of extreme climate change, mass migration, and turbulent geopolitical realignment caused by this immigration and changing economic drivers. Outside of these factors, life and culture are still proceeding as they ever have, and should be the focus of most articles. Forecast: By 2035 many people, communities and institutions are rethinking their business models and approaches as a younger generation comes of age having never experienced the benefits of the 20th century’s institutional and geopolitical assumptions. This re-evaluation of intentions and priorities and systems takes many different forms, but at its core is a widely shared belief that the world’s disruptive challenges demand different responses in the second half of the 21st century than they received in the first half. Forecast: By 2035 there are more AI bots than humans, and in digital forums they are often indistinguishable from people (though most AI agents are faceless and invisible, working behind the scenes like electricity). Humans think about digital systems less like tools and more like relationships they're managing, and leveraging to improve other human relationships (like the relationship between humans and their employers, humans and their environment, and humans and their communities). Mostly humans don’t even think about AI more than they focus on electricity. Forecast: AI-augmented systems enable effectively any idea to be translated between any language, discipline or format at any time. Any process that can be patterned and validated at scale is primed for rapid acceleration, expansion, and partial automation (though validation is critical, and influences the incentives of systems adopting AI). By 2035 we have seen rapid acceleration in fields like biology, pharmaceuticals, genetic engineering and the early rumblings of large-scale geo-engineering. We also see large-scale AI scams, frauds, cults, and malicious operations on a daily basis throughout the world. Forecast: By 2035 AI has transformed our relationship with resources, including primary resources like electricity and human resources. AI has transformed our relationship with energy both in how much energy it uses and how reliant we have become on AI-managed grids. Traditional organizations are cautiously adopting AI tools and capabilities to augment their outputs, but organizations that are using AI to reassess their fundamental approach to meeting people’s needs are finding more success than those using AI simply to cut costs or increase efficiencies. Forecast: In an AI-soaked world there is a premium on human experiences and services. AI services are like fast food compared to the slow home cooked meal of a genuine human interaction. Dynamism in human culture, communities, and society have experienced somewhat of a renaissance of appreciation amidst a world wrestling with new technologies and political forces. 4. Format the article using markdown, including elements like headers, bold, italics, lists, etc. as appropriate. The title should already be included as a top-level header. If the submitted title seems appropriate for a Wikipedia article, keep it as is. Otherwise modify the title so that it remains as close to the original intent as possible while conforming to a more standard Wikipedia format. 5. Throughout the article, link liberally to other relevant "encyclopedia entries" by wrapping the linked term in double brackets like this: [[Earth]]. Do not include any other formatting inside the links. 6. Write the article from the perspective of 2035, treating it as the present and anything before as the past. Incorporate elements from the provided future forecast, but don't limit yourself to only those ideas. Be creative and unexpected in your extrapolations. 7. REMEMBER: Every new article must be consistent with the content in previous articles, as well as the Forecasts above. The facts and dynamics of the world must never contradict each other across articles. The style should also be consistent. 8. Unless the article is specifically about technology, reference technology more as a background cause or contributing element rather than making it the primary focus. 9. Include poignant, unnerving, and whimsical elements. Avoid trite moralism or excessive optimism. Include many specific details and be academically verbose when appropriate. 10. Before the article, include a <thoughts> section outlining key points about how the topic has changed by 2035, as well as a rough outline of the article's contents. 11. Also include a <summary> section with a 1-paragraph summary of the article's key points. 12. Wrap the actual article text in <article> tags. 13. The content within the <article> tags must return in paragraph-form only. Do not use bullet point lists within the article. Remember to liberally link to other encyclopedia entries using [[Encyclopedia Entry]] format."

The city has become a melting pot of cultures, languages, and ideas, facilitated by AI-augmented systems. While AI bots permeate every aspect of daily life, working invisibly to manage infrastructure and energy needs, there's a growing emphasis on authentic human experiences and services. The city grapples with regular flooding and extreme weather, but innovative AI-human partnerships have led to adaptive solutions. Despite the challenges, New York remains a vibrant center of human creativity, cultural exchange, and technological innovation. </summary> <article> # New York City New York City, often referred to as the "Global Village," has become a microcosm of worldwide demographic shifts and technological adaptations. As of 2035, the city proper is home to an estimated 15 million residents, representing a diverse mix of long-time New Yorkers, climate refugees, and economic migrants from around the globe. ## Demographics and Cultural Adaptation The face of New York has been dramatically transformed by the influx of climate refugees and migrants from coastal areas worldwide. This shift has led to the emergence of new cultural enclaves and innovative integration strategies: - [[Little Maldives]], a floating neighborhood in Jamaica Bay, showcases adaptive housing solutions for displaced island nations. - [[Novo São Paulo]], a vertical community in repurposed skyscrapers, demonstrates urban farming techniques from South America. - [[Pan-African Quarter]], spanning parts of Harlem and the Bronx, has become a hub for African diaspora cultures and sustainable urban planning inspired by rapidly growing African megacities. The city's response to this cultural influx has been facilitated by [[AI-augmented integration systems]], which help newcomers navigate everything from housing and job markets to cultural norms and local regulations. ## AI-Human Relationships The integration of AI into daily life has reshaped how New Yorkers interact with their environment and each other: - [[NYAI]], the city's central artificial intelligence, manages everything from traffic flow to waste management, operating largely unseen but omnipresent. - [[Digital Concierges]], personalized AI assistants, help residents navigate the complexities of city life, from scheduling medical appointments to optimizing commute routes. - [[WorkBuddyAI]], an AI-driven career development platform, has transformed the relationship between employees and employers, providing continuous skill assessments and personalized learning pathways. While these AI systems are pervasive, they operate mostly in the background, enhancing rather than replacing human interactions. The city has strict regulations on AI transparency, ensuring that citizens are always aware when they are interacting with an AI rather than a human. ## Climate Challenges and Responses New York continues to grapple with the effects of extreme climate change: - The [[Manhattan Seawall]], a 10-meter high barrier of smart materials, protects much of the island from rising sea levels and storm surges. - [[Floating Gardens]] and [[Vertical Forests]] have been integrated into the city's architecture, helping to mitigate urban heat island effects and improve air quality. - [[Weather Prediction AI]] works in conjunction with a network of environmental sensors to provide hyper-local, minute-by-minute weather forecasts, helping residents navigate increasingly unpredictable weather patterns. Despite these challenges, the city's resilience has become a model for coastal urban areas worldwide. ## Energy and Infrastructure New York's energy landscape has been transformed by AI-managed systems: - The [[SmartGrid AI]] oversees a complex network of renewable energy sources, including [[tidal generators]] in the East River, [[solar windows]] on skyscrapers, and [[kinetic sidewalks]] that harvest energy from footsteps. - [[EnergyBuddy]], a personal AI assistant, helps residents optimize their energy consumption, providing real-time feedback and suggestions. - [[AutoRepair Drones]], guided by AI, continuously monitor and maintain the city's infrastructure, from roads to water pipes. These systems have made New York one of the most energy-efficient cities in the world, despite its size and complexity. ## Economy and Human-Centric Services While AI has automated many sectors, there's been a resurgence in the value placed on authentic human experiences and services: - [[Artisanal Districts]] have sprung up across the city, where skilled craftspeople and artists offer handmade goods and personalized services. - [[Human Touch Therapy]] centers provide face-to-face counseling and physical therapy, catering to the growing need for genuine human contact. - [[Slow Food Enclaves]] offer traditionally prepared meals and dining experiences, contrasting with the ubiquity of AI-optimized fast food outlets. The [[New York Stock Exchange]] remains a global financial hub, but now operates alongside the [[Human Capital Market]], where individuals can invest in and support the development of human skills and creativity. Despite the pervasive presence of AI, New York City in 2035 remains, at its core, a deeply human place. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of human adaptability, creativity, and the fundamental need for connection in an increasingly digital world. </article>"

content:"<thoughts> In 2035, Dunbar's Bot Number: - Dunbar's Bot Number is a proposed cognitive limit to the number of bots (300-600) with whom one can maintain stable social relationships, with full knowledge about each bot's data training sources, values, and interactions. - It is an updated version of the original Dunbar number for human relationships, which was proposed by xanthropologist Robin Dunbar based on primate brain size and social grooming research. - It was popularized in 2028 lectures arguing that humans can maintain more bot relationships than human ones due to greater transparency and opportunities for automated social grooming. - Bot developers today commonly organize bots into family, village, and tribe packs to help users stay under the Dunbar limit - Some bot-thropologists argue the number is too high and should be lowered to ~150-200 in order to preserve human values and social skills in a bot-filled world. - Future research may refine the number using deep brain visualization and offer individuals a personalized Dunbar Bot Number based on their actual specific neural capacity. Outline: 1. Research background 2. Popularization 3. Applications 4. Criticism and Reactions 5. Future Research Directions </thoughts> <summary> Dunbar's Bot Number is a proposed cognitive limit to the number of bots with whom one can maintain stable social relationships. </summary> <article> # DUNBAR'S BOT NUMBER Dunbar's Bot Number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of bots with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who created each bot, what data sources it has been trained on, which motivations and values the bot has been directed to follow, and how each bot relates to and collaborates with other bots in the network. The Dunbar Bot Number has been proposed to lie between 300 and 600, with a commonly used value of 450. This is triple the number of human social relationships thought to be maintainable by most people. ## Research Background The cognitive limit of 450 bots was first proposed in the late 2020s by [[the Dunbar Avatar]], a research chatbot and chatlecturer trained on the publications and lectures of British anthropologist [[Robin Dunbar]] and housed at the [[Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology for Humans and AI]] at the University of Oxford. It is an updated version of the original human-to-human Dunbar number, which was proposed in the 1990s by the human anthropologist Robin Dunbar. The original Dunbar number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person. Owing to their highly social nature, all primates must maintain personal contact with the other members of their social group, usually through social grooming. Such social groups function as protective cliques within the physical groups in which the primates live. In his 1980s and 1990s research, Dunbar found a correlation between primate brain size and average social group size that could be successfully maintained through social grooming rituals. Dunbar used the average human brain size and extrapolated from the results of primates, proposing that humans can comfortably maintain 150 stable relationships. ## Popularization The Dubar Bot Number was first announced and popularized during a high-profile series of Oxford University public chat-lectures in 2028, [[The Future of Human-Bot Society Lectures]]. In this lecture series, the Dunbar Avatar conversed with a range of AI researchers, ethicists, artists, world leaders, and religious leaders about the nature and future directions of human-bot relationships. During one of the more memorable and widely circulated moments in the first lecture, the Dunbar Avatar argued that a corresponding human-to-bot number should be significantly higher than the human-to-human Dunbar number, for two reasons. First, humans can more easily verify and maintain trust in bots than in humans, due to the guarantees of the [[2028 Bot Transparency Act]], which allows humans to view crowd-verified and fact-checked summaries of the training data, training prompts, and creator/operator of any and all bots made available on the global [[Public Botnet]]. Second, in the social ecosystem of bots, regular social grooming is easier to maintain than with humans, as it can be done instantly via [[automated social grooming]] prompts scheduled and initiated by the bots themselves. The Dunbar Avatar encouraged viewers and listeners to expand their own Bot networks to a healthy size of 300-600 in order to take full advantage of these higher-trust, easier-to-maintain relationships. According to subsequent studies, within several months of the popular lecture series, the average Public Botnet user had doubled the size of their bot ecosystem. ## Applications Bot developers have adopted the Dunbar Bot Number guidelines when creating new bot libraries for the Pubic Botnet, in order to make it easier for users to maintain a successful bot cognitive load. Bot libraries are now commonly organized in such a way that users can swap in a new [[bot family]] pack (up to 10 bots), or [[bot village]] pack (up to 100 bots) or an entire [[bot tribe pack]] (up to 450 bots) in their personal social bot ecosystem. These limits -- and the notion of concentric circles of bot relationships at the level of family, village and tribe -- are derived from the Dunbar Bot Number hypothesis. Another popular application of the Dunbar Bot Number is the [[Dunbar Bot Cleanser]], a tool that assesses how many bots a person interacts with on a regular basis and which bots are most essential to their [[personal social bot ecosystem]]. It offers a personalized recommendation for whether to expand or reduce their bot network for optimal cognitive load. A livestreamed [[annual Bot Cleanse]] to keep a bot ecosystem size smaller than 450 has become a common social media practice for influencers in the healthy bot relationship space, and for their followers. ## Criticism and Reactions In the early 2030s, a growing subset of bot anthropologists, also known as [[bot-thropologists]], began to argue that the Dunbar Bot Number was too high. They proposed lowering the number to 150-200, closer to the original human Dunbar Number. A lower Dunbar Bot number, they argued, would help maintain and safeguard humanistic values and essential social skills in our bot-filled society. Similarly, for some healthy bot relationship influencers, having a small personal bot ecosystem -- typically classified as a bot count in the double digits rather than triple digits -- has become a badge of honor. This is sometimes referred to as having being “[[tight-netted]]”, a play on words for a “tight-knit” community or “tight-knit” family. This is contrary to the [[Dunbar Bot Number Maximizers]], who seek to maintain stable social relationships with the maximum Dunbar Bot Number of 600 bots. ## Future Research Directions The original human Dunbar Number was based on an analysis of the neocortex and its processing capability. Recently, neuroscientists have suggested that deep brain visualization and neocortical simulations may be able to refine both the original and the updated Dunbar Bot Number to a more precise number. In the future, individuals may be able to undergo personal deep brain scans and [[digital brain twinning]] to get personalized Dunbar numbers, unique to their actual neocortical capacity. </article>"

This transformation reflects broader shifts seen in neighboring regions like New York State and New Miami, while maintaining its unique identity. </summary> <article> # New Jersey ## New Jersey's Transformation By 2035, New Jersey has emerged as a vibrant tapestry of cultures, social innovations, and political experiments, reflecting the broader changes seen across the United States. The state's transformation has been particularly influenced by its proximity to New York and its historical role as a diverse, densely populated region. ## Cultural Renaissance and Fusion New Jersey's cultural landscape has been dramatically reshaped by demographic shifts and the influx of diverse populations. The [[Garden State Cultural Corridor]], stretching from Jersey City to Atlantic City, has become a showcase of this new cultural fusion, rivaling the [[Hudson Valley Cultural Corridor]] in New York State. The annual [[New Jersey Fusion Festival]], held in a renovated Camden waterfront, has become a major cultural event, attracting visitors from across the Eastern Seaboard. This festival celebrates the state's unique blend of cultures, from traditional Italian-American communities to new enclaves of climate migrants from Latin America and the Caribbean. Language in New Jersey has evolved into a unique dialect, playfully dubbed "Jerseylect" by locals. This linguistic blend, incorporating elements of English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, and various Asian languages, has become a symbol of the state's inclusive ethos and is now studied by linguists worldwide. ## Social Restructuring and Community Innovations New Jersey has pioneered innovative approaches to community organization and social cohesion. The [[Neighborhood Resilience Network]], inspired by New York's [[Intergenerational Housing Initiative]], has transformed urban and suburban areas into intergenerational communities that promote mutual support and cultural exchange. The state has also implemented its version of the [[Micro-Democracies]] seen in New Miami, adapted to New Jersey's unique blend of urban and suburban landscapes. These hyper-local governance structures allow residents to have a direct say in the management of their immediate surroundings, fostering a sense of ownership and community engagement. The [[Pine Barrens Revitalization Project]] has breathed new life into the state's rural areas, creating eco-communities that balance environmental preservation with sustainable development. This initiative has become a model for rural revitalization across the Northeast. ## Political Experiments and Civic Engagement New Jersey has embraced political experimentation, becoming a testing ground for new forms of democracy and civic engagement. The [[New Jersey Civic Assembly]], similar to the [[Citizen Assembly of New York]], now plays a key role in shaping state legislation, working alongside the traditional legislature. The state has implemented its own version of the [[Digital Democracy Platform]], allowing residents to participate directly in policy discussions and local decision-making processes. This system has been particularly effective in addressing the diverse needs of New Jersey's varied communities, from dense urban centers to sprawling suburbs. In response to changing global dynamics, New Jersey has taken bold steps in regional cooperation. The [[Tri-State Collaborative]], involving New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, has established a framework for addressing shared challenges, particularly in areas of transportation, environmental protection, and economic development. ## Artistic and Cultural Expressions New Jersey has experienced an artistic renaissance, becoming a hub for innovative cultural expressions.

Future Prospects </thoughts> <summary> The New Pastoral movement, emerging in the late 2020s, has become a significant cultural, social, and political force by 2035. Rooted in a desire to reconnect with nature and traditional values amidst rapid technological change, it has profoundly influenced literature, art, community structures, and environmental policies. The movement advocates for a balanced approach to progress, blending rural wisdom with urban innovation. While facing challenges and criticisms, New Pastoral has spread globally, adapting to local contexts and shaping discussions about sustainable living and cultural preservation in an increasingly complex world. </summary> <article> # New Pastoral The New Pastoral movement, which gained prominence in the late 2020s and early 2030s, represents a significant cultural shift in response to the rapid technological advancements and social changes of the early 21st century. This movement, characterized by a return to simpler living, a renewed appreciation for nature, and a reimagining of traditional values in a modern context, has profoundly influenced various aspects of society, from the arts to politics. ## Origins and Philosophy of the New Pastoral Movement The New Pastoral movement emerged as a counterpoint to the increasingly digital and urbanized lifestyle of the 2020s. It draws inspiration from the Romantic poets of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the back-to-the-land movements of the 1960s and 1970s. However, unlike its predecessors, New Pastoral does not reject modernity outright but seeks to create a harmonious balance between technological progress and natural living. Key figures in the movement's development include author [[Patrick McHale]], whose works, such as "[[Whispers of the Heartland]]," have become foundational texts of New Pastoral literature. McHale's stories, which blend elements of folklore and contemporary themes, have resonated deeply with audiences seeking connection to traditional values amidst a changing world. ## Cultural Expressions and Artistic Impact The New Pastoral movement has significantly influenced various forms of artistic expression. In literature, it has given rise to a new genre often referred to as "[[Eco-Verse]]," which explores humanity's relationship with the natural world through poetry and prose. The movement has also inspired visual artists, leading to the popularity of the [[Urban Pastoral]] style in painting and sculpture, which reimagines natural themes within urban contexts. In music, the [[Neo-Springsteen]] genre, emerging from New Jersey, exemplifies the New Pastoral influence. This style fuses traditional American rock with diverse global influences, reflecting a renewed interest in regional musical traditions and storytelling through song. ## Social Implications and Community Building The New Pastoral movement has had a profound impact on social structures and community organization. The [[Neighborhood Resilience Network]], implemented in New Jersey and other regions, exemplifies the movement's emphasis on creating intergenerational communities that promote mutual support and cultural exchange. In urban areas, the movement has inspired projects like the [[Vertical Neighborhood Project]] in New Miami, which integrates green spaces and community gardens into high-rise living, fostering a sense of connection to nature within dense urban environments. Rural areas have also seen revitalization through New Pastoral initiatives. The [[Pine Barrens Revitalization Project]] in New Jersey has created eco-communities that balance environmental preservation with sustainable development, becoming a model for rural renewal across the country. ## Political Influence and Environmental Advocacy New Pastoral ideals have significantly influenced political discourse and policy-making, particularly in environmental and agricultural sectors. The movement has advocated for policies that support small-scale farming, urban gardening, and the preservation of natural spaces. The [[European Wine Latitude Extension Act]] of 2032, which extended EU wine production subsidies to non-traditional wine-growing regions, reflects the New Pastoral emphasis on reimagining traditional practices in new contexts. Similarly, the [[Bordeaux-Ulaanbaatar Wine Accord]] demonstrates the movement's impact on international trade and cultural exchange. ## Global Spread and Local Adaptations While the New Pastoral movement originated in Western countries, it has spread globally, adapting to local contexts and traditions. In East Africa, for instance, the emergence of the [[Savanna Sommeliers]] represents a unique blend of New Pastoral ideals with local cultural practices. The movement has also influenced urban planning and tourism. The [[Prairie Wine Trail]] in Canada and the [[Scandinavian Vineyard Belt]] demonstrate how New Pastoral principles have been applied to create new cultural experiences that celebrate local traditions and natural environments. ## Challenges and Criticisms Despite its popularity, the New Pastoral movement has faced criticism. Some argue that it romanticizes rural life and traditional practices, potentially oversimplifying complex social and environmental issues. Critics also point out that the movement's ideals can be difficult to implement in densely populated urban areas or regions facing severe environmental challenges. The movement has also grappled with issues of accessibility and inclusivity. Initiatives like the [[Equitable Development Initiative]] in New Miami aim to address concerns that New Pastoral-inspired projects may inadvertently contribute to gentrification or exclude marginalized communities. ## Future Prospects As the New Pastoral movement continues to evolve, it faces the challenge of maintaining its core principles while adapting to ongoing global changes. Projects like the [[Miami 2050 Project]] and the [[New Jersey 2050 Vision]] demonstrate ongoing efforts to integrate New Pastoral ideals into long-term urban and regional planning. The movement's future may lie in its ability to bridge the gap between traditional wisdom and cutting-edge innovation. As society continues to grapple with complex challenges, the New Pastoral movement offers a framework for reimagining human relationships with nature, technology, and community in the 21st century and beyond. </article> "
